Trigger Multi-Instancibility

Trigger Multi-Instancibility

Doing different things with the editor learned me something.
I'v found a way to create multi instancibility triggers, without JASS but with variables.
Maybe others don't know this way, so I'll give here how to create it.
(This is a little tutorial)

When creating a Variable, ADD 10-12(Number of players) to it.
Now, when casting u maybe need to set the casting unit to a Variable. Use the following triggers to make it this time:

Set CastingUnit[(Player number of (Owner of (Casting unit)))] = (Casting unit)

With this way, each unit will get he's own unique number when casting this, making it an multi instancibility number.
Next if u are going to create a spell:

Creating a point (just an example) where the hero is casting the ability. Also: MAKE ARRAY!
Now, the trigger for the point:

Set CastingPoint[(Player number of (Owner of CastingUnit[(Player number of (Triggering player))]))] = (Target point of ability being cast)

This is the casting point, so lets create a effect when casting Blizzard.

Special Effect - Create a special effect at CastingPoint[(Player number of (Owner of CastingUnit[(Player number of (Triggering player))]))] using Abilities\Spells\Human\ThunderClap\ThunderClapCaster.mdl

In this way it should to be work, Here it does!

Here I got control of both Am's by using the sharing ability!
Well I hope I gave some good information, Have fun with it!

Might be the way some would choose to do it, but that limits you to 1 casting per player. If there can be multiple units it is easier to create a recycling system with a large variable array that has a count and recycles as a spell stops functioning or the trigger for that particular unit is no longer applicable. I have an example of this somewhere, it was used for a jump system that could handle a bunch of units jumping at once. Once I find it I will post it to demonstrate what I mean.

We already knew this technique. It is pretty "classic" already and yeah, it's considered one of the best player MUI techniques in GUI. And btw, array should be 12 elements long.

When creating a Variable, ADD 10-12(Number of players) to it. 10,12,..
